Jessica Alba wants to return to action

The fourth film in the Spy Kids series starring Jessica Alba, Antonio Banderas, Jeremy Piven, Rowan Blanchard, Mason Cook, Joel McHale, Danny Trejo and Alexa Vega. The plot revolves around twins Rebecca and Cecil (Blanchard & Cook) who cannot get along with their stepmother, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba). Marissa is married to their father, the spy-hunting reporter Wilbur Wilson (Joel McHale). Unbeknownst to the twins, Marissa is actually a retired spy for the OSS (Organization of Super Spies) when she gets called back into action. With the Earth being threatened by an evil villain known as The Timekeeper (Piven) and the lives of innocent people seemingly in jeopardy, Rebecca and Cecil find that they have no choice but to put their anger aside and help their stepmother.

The 30-year-old actress - who gave birth to Haven Garner, her second daughter with husband Cash Warren, last weekend - thinks it would be "fun" to appear in something similar to her 2000 TV series 'Dark Angel', which was cancelled after two seasons.

She said: "I'd like to do an action movie next as I haven't really done one since 'Dark Angel'.

"It'd be fun to get back to doing some of those."

Jessica - who also has three-year-old Honor with Cash - can next be seen in 'Spy Kids 4' and she is a big fan of the franchise, and thinks it will still entertain viewers in years to come.

She said: "I'm a fan of the 'Spy Kids' movies. It's not just the grown-ups that get to do all the action to save the world. The kids do too, which is really neat.

"The first was my favourite and I think it's timeless. The theme of a family working together and enjoying every moment still resonates and will do in another 10 years."
